The case for Rachel Homan
The dominant women's skip of the 2020s and the most prolific winner in the professional era of the sport. Homan won the world championship in 2017 with an undefeated run, then took back-to-back titles in 2024 and 2025, making her Canadian rink the first to defend the women's world crown since Schmirler in 1993-94. Domestically she has five Scotties Tournament of Hearts titles, and her 2023-24 season produced a 67-7 overall record widely described as the best any women's team has posted. She won 22 consecutive Scotties games across 2024 and 2025 and shot a perfect 100 percent in the 2025 final. Her 20 Grand Slam titles are the most by any woman. The one gap closed only partly at Milano Cortina 2026, where she took bronze at her third Olympics after finishing sixth in 2018.
The case for Silvana Tirinzoni
Skip of the only women's team to win four consecutive world championships, taking gold in 2019, 2021, 2022 and 2023 with Alina Patz throwing last stones, then adding silvers in 2024 and 2025 when Rachel Homan's Canada finally stopped them. The arrangement itself was unusual and much discussed: Tirinzoni called the game and held the broom while Patz delivered the fourth pair, a split of the skip's role that several elite teams have since copied. She also won European titles in 2023 and 2024 and a long run of Swiss national championships, and finally took an Olympic medal at Milano Cortina 2026, silver after a 6-5 loss to Sweden in the final. She announced her retirement in the summer of 2026, ending the most successful sustained run any women's team has assembled.
